Gene Kranz's famous motto, "Failure is not an option!" is

well-known. Jim Lovell's credo is equally pithy yet powerful:

"You gotta make things happen!" In this joint presentation

from two of the most renowned space program pioneers,

Kranz, Apollo 13's flight director, and Lovell, commander

of the Apollo 13 mission, discuss and define teamwork as it

applies to audiences. Together, these respected icons explain

how competence, perseverance, and leadership combine to

APOLLO 13:A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE

assure ultimate victory in any circumstance. Be it in a crisis

situation or an ordinary day at the office, this dynamic team

emphasizes the importance of control in communication

and individual responsibility. For both men, who began

their careers at the very beginning of the technological age,

success as a unit is intertwined with focused leadership, trust

and values, motivation, and the ability to understand that

there is no achievement without risk.
